My wife Dee Dee and I married in 1975. We had known each other for about 3 years and dated regularly and I finally popped the question. During this period, Dee Dee had met my brother Alex many times. We had all gone camping together, eaten many Thanksgiving meals together, and generally hung out together both at our house and his apartment.
Dee Dee and Alex had always gotten along very well. They were both the same age and had attended high school together. They had sat in the same classrooms and shared the same friends. They enjoyed the same music and both enjoyed sports at their high school.
My brother Alex was very athletic and played varsity football as a running back. Dee Dee ran cross country track and was a varsity cheerleader. Every time there was a football game, the two got together and hung out, he in his football gear and Dee Dee in her cheerleader's uniform.
When Dee Dee and I first got married, I knew that she had grown up in a fairly restrictive home environment. Sex and nudity was something that their parents frowned upon, so she always wore things like high neck sweaters and such. Her only allowable dress in less modest clothing was her cheerleader uniform. Her mom had been a cheerleader in high school and college years before, and she always hoped that Dee Dee would take an interest in that activity also and would be good enough to make the team.
Dee Dee didn't have any problems making the team as she was very athletic and coordinated and danced well. Because of her mom's influence over her dad, he had allowed her to be a cheerleader and dress in the short skirts they wore. She was very proud of her school and happy to represent it.
However, after my wife and I got married, we were transferred to El Paso, Texas with my employer. That was about 700 miles from our home town where we grew up. Once there, she began to feel a little freer from their influence, and was actually happy that our families couldn't just drop in for a visit.
It was during this period that she decided that she really enjoyed being naked around the house. In our backyard was a swimming pool, and she enjoyed swimming nude in it. She had always been an excellent swimmer and loved swimming laps in the pool and playing around in the water. Our home had a secluded backyard on two sides but a fairly low wall on the west side of our home. Off and on she would go out to swim and our elderly neighbor would be out pruning his flowers and would say hello.
Dee Dee had made friends with Mr. Elledge right after we moved in when she took him over a pie. She had found out that his wife had died a few months before and wanted to let him know that if he needed anything she was right next door. Mr. Elledge was in his mid 80s by then and appreciated her concern.
He got to where he knew when she would swim so he would go out to work in the yard when she came out. He had also watched her enough to know she was always naked. She would come out to swim and he would be standing by the wall and tell her hello. Dee Dee would always walk over and say hello and talk to him for a little bit. Dee Dee would tell me that she knew he was lonely, but also believed he really liked looking at her naked body and recalling when he and his wife were young together.
She would always just stand there and visit and let him look at her all he wanted, because she felt so sorry for him. She said many times he never even looked in her eyes but just let his eyes wander over her body.
During the week, Mr. Elledge would also come over a few days during the week and have coffee with us and visit. Dee Dee would always bake a coffee cake on the mornings he stopped in and he enjoyed eating some and drinking two cups of coffee with us. He would never overstay his welcome but enjoyed having company to visit with. Of course, I think it helped that Dee Dee was naked every day he stopped in. I wasn't that brave and would always be dressed. I don't think he came over to see me though.
Mr. Elledge was always a gentleman when he came over and would never make suggestive comments to her or try and touch her inappropriately in any way, but he was a "toucher". By that, I mean he was someone who would touch you when he said hello or good bye. It was usually a touch on the back or something as innocent as putting his hand on your shoulder. Dee Dee got to where she would give him a hug when he arrived and left, which he seemed to enjoy.
It had probably been at least 65 years since he had touched a nude female her age, but she didn't mind at all. She knew that we all get old sometime and hoped that when we got old someone else would do for us what we did for Mr. Elledge.
By then, my brother Alex had joined the U.S. Navy and was stationed on a U.S. Navy nuclear attack submarine. Alex had also loved swimming and was at home in the water, so when he decided to join a military service to help pay for college he looked at the Navy first. They had offered him Navy Seal training, but he wasn't interested in that. He wanted to be on the water full time. When they offered him submarines, he jumped at the chance.
That summer, Alex had been assigned to go to a computer weapons school being given at Ft. Bliss Army Base in El Paso. He was going to be there for two weeks in the July. For you that have been to El Paso in the summer, you know it is a hot, hot place. We had some summers there where it reached 110 degrees and stayed over a hundred for 40 days straight. Most people who can afford it have a swimming pool put in to help make it through the hottest part of the year.
Alex said he started to call us and let us know he was coming, but at the last minute decided to just drop in once he got settled in his hotel room. I recall he arrived on a Friday afternoon so he could be in class the following Monday morning. Alex decided to come over and see us and invite us out to dinner to do some catching up.
As it turned out, I was at work that afternoon. I worked either the 6am-4pm or 4pm-2am shift. I had Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, and for that month I was scheduled the late shift. Alex didn't know that, of course, so just stopped in that Friday afternoon to see us.
